Today you turn one! I can't believe how fast the last year flew by. One year ago today I was holding this fresh, squishy baby and trying to take you all in. Your features, your sounds, and that new baby smell. Today you are a rambunctious, sassy, smart and beautiful wild child ( I can barely write this post because you're climbing on top of me).

I'm so proud of the little toddler you've grown into. Some days are exhausting but everyday is rewarding. Being your mama has been the best job and privilege of my life and I count my blessings everyday.

I hope you know that you can do anything you put your mind to and I know that you will. You are so very determined and smart. You are going to do great things once you stop eating books.

You are loved by so many people because you bring tremendous amounts of joy to everyone you come across.

Although I miss the squishy baby days, I'm equally excited to see you grow and learn and say really funny things.

I hope that I've done a good job at this whole Mama thing. There are days where I've felt like a complete failure but then you fall asleep in my arms and I know that I bring you comfort and I count that as a win.

I promise that I will always be there for you no matter what. You can count on me for comfort and love without judgment.

You will always be my little nugget and I will forever be thankful to you for making me a mother.

I also want to give a shoutout to Tim for being the best Dad and partner two girls could ask for.
